Two features of Bihua Street, shops with no signs and most of them run by families

The absence of shop signs was because the way to do business in the old days was by reputation. After a while, signs simply did not seem to be relevant anymore.

In the past, if there was money to be made, people often brought in other family members. Hence, many textile shops were run by families.

Furthermore, shops on Bihua Street mainly sell stock fabric and so prices are especially friendly. Many shops offer both wholesale and retail services.
